Adam Copeland Talks Retirement Plans and Giving Back

Published on

Wants the final match to elevate a young star


Summary

– Adam Copeland plans to use his final match to help launch the next generation

– Credits Bret Hart for teaching him the importance of giving back

– Estimates he has about two years left in his wrestling career

Adam Copeland knows his time in the ring is winding down, but he’s determined to make the most of it. Speaking with Stephen Brunt on Up Close, he revealed that when the time comes for his last match, he wants it to help elevate a younger talent.

“That’s going to be the big decision for me. Who do I get in there with last? I’d love to get in there with a young person and just try and strap a rocket to him. In my last match, what can I do to try to get someone set up?”

Copeland credited Bret Hart for instilling in him the importance of giving back, recalling how The Hitman helped shape his career. “He didn’t need to put that time in and care, but he did. That really taught me the whole giving back is true.”

While he doesn’t want to be “the old guy who is hanging on,” he still feels he has some time left. “I’m thinking maybe two years. Being off with a broken leg has kind of extended it.”

Copeland remains active in AEW, currently locked in a feud with AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. He is set to compete at AEW Collision Maximum Carnage, teaming up with FTR, Powerhouse Hobbs, and The Outrunners to take on Death Riders and The Learning Tree.
